In contrast, Lu Yichen, with his cool countenance, still looked fresh and clean even though he had sweat till the back of his shirt was soaked .
Han Qiqing stood up . She held onto the railing and peeked out, looking at Lu Yichen worriedly .
However, the basketball coach was holding a meeting with the team, and she didn't dare to interrupt them .
After the coach had finished speaking, he let the team go back in to rest .
Anyway, there was a 15-minute break between the halves .
As the team trickled back in, Han Qiqing hurriedly leaned outwards and shouted to Lu Yichen, "Lu Yichen, are you alright?"
Lu Yichen's teammate elbowed him teasingly . "Someone's concerned about you . "
Lu Yichen was wiping his face with a towel as he looked up at her . "I'm fine," he answered mildly .
After that, he turned his gaze to Mu Xiaoxiao .
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled at him and pumped a fist into the air . "All the best!"
Lu Yichen smiled and nodded . "Okay . "
The next half of the match was even more intense .
Han Qiqing looked at Mu Xiaoxiao, her face displeased . "Look at those people from Second High . They all look so fierce . They look like they're out to fight, not play . "
"Yeah, I think so too . " Mu Xiaoxiao nodded in agreement .
While the both of them were talking, they didn't realize the Second High team members looking over at them .
Everyone had witnessed how Lu Yichen had protect Mu Xiaoxiao earlier .
Thus, they knew that Mu Xiaoxiao must be someone who was really important to him .
The students from Second High were oblivious to her relationship with Yin Shaojie and naturally just assumed that Mu Xiaoxiao was probably Lu Yichen's girlfriend .
On the court, the two teams were engaged in a fervent match .
The team from Second High exchanged glances with one another . When the basketball shot up, a person suddenly jumped up and hit it out of the court forcefully .
Lu Yichen's gaze had always been on the ball . When he realized who the ball was heading towards, his gaze wavered .
"Xiaoxiao — "
However, it was too late .
Han Qiqing was frozen to the spot in fear . She grasped Mu Xiaoxiao's hand tightly and could only watch as the basketball flew towards Mu Xiaoxiao at lightning speed .
Mu Xiaoxiao stared at the basketball . She was so scared that she only had time to close her eyes .
"Slam!" A booming noise resounded .
Just as the entire stadium was holding their breath, the basketball was hit back to the court and bounced on the ground .
"Wa — It's Young Master Jie!"
The pain Mu Xiaoxiao had expected didn't come to her, but instead, she heard this shout . She opened her eyes suddenly and was greeted by Yin Shaojie's face right in front of hers .
Uh… He looked very displeased .
Yin Shaojie didn't only look displeased but green with fury!
Mu Xiaoxiao met his dark gaze and felt safe and protected . It was only then that she felt her fear, and a wet film began to form in her eyes .
"Didn't you say that you weren't coming?" she said aggressively as though she was complaining about him .
Yin Shaojie's lips twitched as he sneered . "May I not come just because I said that I wouldn't? Does your family own this stadium?"
Mu Xiaoxiao pouted in response .
Yeah, yeah, she knew his family owned this stadium .
She reached out and tried to pull him to her, but he seemed to avoid her hand purposely, causing her to grasp at air .
Mu Xiaoxiao felt even worse . "Are you angry?"
"No," Yin Shaojie replied quickly, but he seemed really cold .
